How do bands that go on extended tours with different costumes/clothes get them cleaned?

413 viewsOther

This kind of goes for just about any band as most bands I see live will sweat quite a bit while on stage regardless of what they’re wearing. How do bands that travel from city to city without much stopping get their clothes cleaned for each show, especially if they have multiple costumes/clothes they wear on stage?

Several different answers to this, actually.

My main touring client wears a machine washable body suit underneath her costumes with 2 pouches sewn into it that hold the receiver pack for her in ear monitors and the transmitter pack for her headset microphone.

That gets washed several times a week and she has multiple of them.

A couple of her costumes are machine washable, and the other ones are either hand washed or professionally dry cleaned on non show days.

The band members stage clothes are either machine washable or hand washed.

And some don’t wash their stage clothes.
Seriously.

Without naming names, I know one band that didn’t wash their stage clothes for the whole tour. Their wardrobe case smelled so bad..
